BURLINGTON, Mass., March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuance
Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that physicians
at academic medical centers continue to adopt and benefit from the
Nuance® Dragon® Ambient eXperience™ (DAX™) ambient clinical
intelligence (ACI) solution. As a transformative answer to many of
healthcare's biggest challenges surrounding clinician burnout,
Nuance DAX allows providers to embark on a new strategy for
clinical documentation grounded in operational efficiency enabled
by advanced ambient AI technology. Nuance DAX leads to time savings
that facilitate greater physician and patient satisfaction,
improved patient access, additional appropriate revenue, and the
ability for clinicians to spend time on other teaching and research
initiatives.
"Nuance DAX has saved our organization an enormous amount of
time and has allowed our physicians to go home, play with their
kids, and not work until midnight to finish their documentation as
they had before. Now, when they're done with work, they're done,"
said Dr. Monte Hunter, Chair of
Orthopedics at the Medical College of
Georgia and Augusta University Health. "It's a huge
satisfier for our providers and our faculty would say it's truly
improved their quality of life. For me, it brought back the joy of
seeing patients again. Now I can enjoy the patient visit and
concentrate on what I'm doing without worrying about the 2-3 hours
of documentation I'd have to do afterwards."
Nuance DAX extends the value and capabilities of the existing
deployment of Nuance Dragon Medical, the leading medical speech
recognition solution used by over 550,000 physicians worldwide to
document patient stories securely, accurately, and more
efficiently. Nuance DAX and Dragon Medical together give healthcare
organizations a comprehensive and flexible solution to help achieve
its priority goals of improving patient experiences and physician
satisfaction while expanding access to care. Nuance DAX securely
captures and automatically creates detailed clinical notes from
multi-party conversations during on-site and virtual encounters
with patient consent. It enables physicians to stay fully engaged
with patients and improves clinical documentation quality and
physician satisfaction by reducing the time needed to document
care.
"We are excited about the promise of Nuance DAX and the
potential time-savings it could provide to our physicians who are
currently tasked with entering and editing clinical notes from
patient visits every day, and after-hours," said Dr. Lance Owens, Family Medicine Section Chief,
Chief Medical Information Officer, Metro Health University of Michigan Health. "The idea that
physicians will not only have more availability to see existing or
new patients, but also will be able to build stronger relationships
without worrying about typing into a keyboard is huge. Patient
experiences improve when they have the undivided attention of their
doctor during the clinical encounter and from greater access to
specialist care – both of which we hope Nuance DAX will
provide."
Leading health systems including Boston Children's Hospital,
Cooper University Health Care, Monument Health, Providence Health,
Rush University Medical Center, SSM
Health, WellSpan Health, and others are adopting Nuance DAX to
alleviate physician burnout caused by administrative workloads, to
improve patient and provider experiences, increase clinical
documentation quality, and support health system financial
integrity.
"Empowering physicians with the advanced technology they need to
provide seamless, personalized care for every patient is an
essential part of our mission," said Diana
Nole, Executive Vice President and General Manager of
Healthcare at Nuance. "From measurable impacts in care access,
documentation quality and physician productivity, to the
improvements it enables in patient experiences and clinician
satisfaction, Nuance DAX is a key part of our broader portfolio of
healthcare solutions that are transforming healthcare delivery and
outcomes."
